To make this, I made the following background images. The background image is automatically resized by 256x256, and is displayed.

If you want to make the rabbit balloon easily, I recommend to use Toos - Objects which is the new function of TATARA7.0.

Choose Objects on the Tools menu.

Set Type as CYLINDER. Choose 16x64 for Size. Choose two as Detail. And add three Sphere objects and click the OK button.

Then, the three spheres are displayed as follows.

Click the MAGE tab and change into MAGE mode.

Select Load Background on the View menu and select the following background image.

Rearrange the control points, as shown in the following figure.

You can treat each sphere as one group. So you can edit easily.

Save the sculpt map file and upload it. Then you can get following rabbit balloon.

However, I make the rabbit balloon which used all control points this time.

Let's make the rabbit balloon from the following steps. 1) Select 32x32 of Sphere by New on the File menu. 2) Make the form of the rabbit balloon by MAGE mode. 3) Save the grid texture and make the texture which changed the color of the ear. 4) Maximize, save and upload to the in-world.
